(embodiment)
Fig. 1 is the exploded perspective view of employed panel 10 in the plasma display system in embodiments of the present invention.On the front of glass substrate 21, form a plurality of by scan electrode 22 with keep show electrode that electrode 23 constitutes to 24.And form dielectric layer 25 according to covering the mode of show electrode to 24, on this dielectric layer 25, form protective seam 26.In order to be easy to generate discharge, it is that magnesium oxide forms that protective seam 26 adopts the high material of electronics release performance.Form a plurality of data electrodes 32 overleaf on the substrate 31, form dielectric layer 33 according to the mode of covers data electrode 32, and then form the next door 34 of well word shape above that.And, the luminescent coating 35 send redness, green and blue shades of colour light is set on the side of next door 34 and the dielectric layer 33.
These front substrates 21 and the mode subtend configuration of back substrate 31 with the small discharge space of clamping so that show electrode intersects with data electrode 32 to 24, seal its peripheral part through encapsulants such as frits.And at discharge space, the mixed gas of enclosing for example neon and xenon is as discharge gas.Discharge space is divided into a plurality of zones through next door 34, at show electrode 24 parts that intersect with data electrode 32 is formed discharge cell.Thereby and through discharge by these discharge cells, luminous display image.
In addition, the structure of panel 10 not necessarily is defined in said structure, for example also can possess the next door of striated.
Fig. 2 is the electrode spread figure of employed panel 10 in the plasma display system in the embodiment of the present invention.In the panel 10; Follow direction and arrange long n root scan electrode SC1~scan electrode SCn (scan electrode 22 of Fig. 1) and n root and keep electrode SU1~keep electrode SUn (Fig. 1 keep electrode 23), arrange long m single data electrode D1~data electrode Dm (data electrode 32 of Fig. 1) along column direction.And, 1 couple of scan electrode SCi (i=1~n) and keep electrode Sui and data electrode Dj (part of j=1~m) intersect forms discharge cell, and discharge cell forms m * n in discharge space.
Next, driving voltage waveform and the action thereof that is used to drive panel 10 described.Plasma display system through son method, be about to a field (F) and be divided into many sub-field, luminous non-luminously come display image by what control each discharge cell in every sub-field (SF).
During each sub-field (SF) has an initialization, write during, keep during.
During initialization, eliminate the course of the wall electric charge of discharge cell before this, carry out initialization action, promptly on each electrode, be formed on the ensuing needed wall electric charge in the discharge that writes.
During writing, in discharge cell that should be luminous, selectively produce and write discharge, form the write activity of wall electric charge.
During keeping, to show electrode to 24 pulses of keeping that alternately apply with the corresponding number of luminance weights that is predetermined by every sub-field.Thus, produce and to keep discharge having produced the discharge cell that writes discharge, make this discharge cell luminous keep action.In addition, in order luminosity to be suppressed for lower, also can be provided with to omit the son field during keeping.
In this embodiment, for example 1 field by ten sub-field (SF1, SF2 ..., SF10) constitute, in each son, set the luminance weights of (1,2,3,6,11,18,30,44,60,80) respectively.And, force initialization action during being located at the initialization of son SF1, during the initialization of a son SF2~son field SF10, select initialization action.But the formation of son of the present invention field is not limited to above-mentioned son (sub field) number and luminance weights.
The driving voltage waveform figure that Fig. 3 applies for each electrode to the plasma display system in the embodiment of the present invention.
First half during the initialization of son the SF1 that forces initialization action applies voltage 0 (V) to data electrode D1~data electrode Dm, to keeping electrode SU1~keep electrode Sun also to apply voltage 0 (V).And, scan electrode SC1~scan electrode SCn is applied the waveform voltage that is inclined upwardly that slowly rises towards voltage Vi2 from voltage Vi1.Voltage Vi1 is the voltage of keeping below the corresponding discharge ionization voltage of electrode SU1~keep electrode Sun, and voltage Vi2 keeps electrode SU1~the keep voltage of the corresponding discharge ionization voltage of electrode Sun for surpassing.
Thus; Scan electrode SC1~scan electrode SCn and keep electrode SU1~keep between the electrode Sun and scan electrode SC1~SCn and data electrode D1~data electrode Dm between produce faint initialization discharge respectively; On scan electrode SC1~scan electrode SCn, accumulate negative wall voltage, on data electrode D1~data electrode Dm and keep electrode SU1~keep and accumulate positive wall voltage on the electrode SUn.At this, the wall voltage on the so-called electrode represent through on the dielectric layer of coated electrode, on the protective seam, the voltage that produces of the first-class wall electric charge of accumulating of luminescent coating.
Latter half during initialization to keeping electrode SU1~keep electrode Sun to apply voltage Ve, applies the downward-sloping waveform voltage that gently descends towards voltage Vi4 from voltage Vi3 to scan electrode SC1~scan electrode SCn.Voltage Vi3 is for becoming the voltage below the discharge ionization voltage with respect to keeping electrode SU1~keep electrode Sun, and voltage Vi4 is for respect to keeping electrode SU1~the keep voltage that electrode Sun surpasses discharge ionization voltage.
Thus, scan electrode SC1~scan electrode SCn and keep electrode SU1~keep between the electrode Sun and scan electrode SC1~scan electrode SCn and data electrode D1~data electrode Dm between produce faint initialization discharge once more.Afterwards; Negative wall voltage on scan electrode SC1~scan electrode SCn and the positive wall voltage of keeping electrode SU1~keep on the electrode SUn are weakened; Part superfluous in the positive wall voltage on data electrode D1~data electrode Dm is discharged, and is adjusted to the wall voltage that is suitable for write activity.Through more than, accomplish the pressure initialization action that produces the initialization discharge at whole discharge cells.
Next in during writing, data electrode D1~data electrode Dm is applied voltage 0 (V), apply voltage Ve, scan electrode SC1~scan electrode SCn is applied voltage Vc keeping electrode SU1~Sun.
Next, the scan electrode SC1 of first row is applied the scanning impulse of negative voltage Va, and to applying the pulse that writes of positive voltage Vd with making the luminous corresponding data electrode Dk of discharge cell of first row among data electrode D1~data electrode Dm.Thus; The data electrode Dk that has applied the discharge cell that writes pulse go up and scan electrode SC1 on the voltage difference of cross part; Income value after becoming poor (Vd-Va) that the outside is applied voltage and having added the positive wall voltage on the data electrode Dk surpasses discharge ionization voltage.Afterwards, between data electrode Dk and scan electrode SC1, produce discharge, this discharge expands at scan electrode SC1 and keeps the discharge between the electrode SU1.Produce thus and write discharge.Afterwards, on scan electrode SC1, accumulate positive wall voltage, accumulate negative wall voltage on the electrode SU1 keeping, on data electrode Dk, also accumulate negative wall voltage.As above such, in should making the luminous discharge cell of first row, produce and write discharge, carry out on each electrode, accumulating the write activity of wall voltage.On the other hand, do not apply the voltage of the data electrode 32 that writes pulse and the cross part between the scan electrode SC1, therefore do not produce and write discharge owing to surpass discharge ionization voltage.
Next, the scan electrode SC2 of second row is applied scanning impulse, and to applying and write pulse with making the luminous corresponding data electrode Dk of discharge cell of second row among data electrode D1~data electrode Dm.Thus; Between data electrode Dk and the scan electrode SC2 and keep between electrode SU2 and the scan electrode SC2 to produce and write discharge; On scan electrode SC2, accumulate positive wall voltage, accumulate negative wall voltage on the electrode SU2 keeping, on data electrode Dk, also accumulate negative wall voltage.As above such, in should making the luminous discharge cell of second row, produce and write discharge, carry out on each electrode, accumulating the write activity of wall voltage.On the other hand, do not apply the voltage of the data electrode 32 that writes pulse and the cross part between the scan electrode SC2, therefore do not produce and write discharge owing to surpass discharge ionization voltage.
Below, from the scan electrode SC3 of the third line to the capable scan electrode SCn of n till, carry out same write activity, in discharge cell, form the ensuing needed wall electric charge of discharge of keeping.
During ensuing keeping, to keeping electrode SU1~keep electrode Sun to apply voltage 0 (V), and scan electrode SC1~scan electrode SCn is applied the pulse of keeping of voltage Vs.Thus; In having caused the discharge cell that writes discharge; Scan electrode SCi goes up and keeps the voltage difference on the electrode SUi; Become voltage Vs is added wall voltage and the income value of keeping after the difference of the wall voltage on the electrode SUi on the scan electrode SCi, surpass scan electrode SCi and keep the discharge ionization voltage between the electrode Sui.Thus, at scan electrode SCi with keep between the electrode Sui to produce and keep discharge, luminescent coating 35 is luminous through the ultraviolet ray that produces this moment.Afterwards, on scan electrode SCi, accumulate negative wall voltage, accumulate positive wall voltage on the electrode SUi keeping.And then, on data electrode Dk, also accumulate positive wall voltage.The opposing party does not produce in not causing the discharge cell that writes discharge and keeps discharge, guarantees the wall voltage when initialization action finishes.
Next, scan electrode SC1~scan electrode SCn is applied voltage 0 (V), and to keeping the pulse of keeping that electrode SU1~Sun applies voltage Vs.Thus, cause once more in having caused the discharge cell of keeping discharge and keep discharge that luminescent coating 35 carries out luminous.Afterwards, accumulate negative wall voltage on the electrode SUi keeping, on scan electrode SCi, accumulate positive wall voltage.
Below same, will alternately put on scan electrode SC1~scan electrode SCn and keep electrode SU1~keep electrode Sun with the pulse of keeping of the corresponding number of luminance weights, in having caused the discharge cell that writes discharge, make and keeping discharge and continue to produce.
Next, during the initialization of son SF2, to keeping electrode SU1~keep electrode Sun to apply voltage 0 (V), and scan electrode SC1~scan electrode SCn applied the waveform voltage that is inclined upwardly that slowly rises to till the voltage Vr as the 1st voltage.Thus; Produced the discharge cell of keeping discharge during the keeping of son before just (being a son SF1) (under the situation of a son during not keeping at this; During writing, carried out writing the discharge cell of discharge) in; Generation is established and kept electrode Sui is negative electrode, and scan electrode SCi is the discharge first time of anode.This discharge is faint discharge.And the wall voltage that scan electrode SCi goes up and keeps on the electrode SUi is weakened.In addition, in this embodiment, voltage Vr is set to the voltage identical with voltage Vs, but voltage Vr also can be the different voltages with different with voltage Vs.
Next, to keeping under the state that electrode SU1~keep electrode Sun applied voltage 0 (V), scan electrode SC1~scan electrode SCn is applied the downward-sloping waveform voltage that gently descends towards voltage Vi4 from voltage 0 (V).Thus, in the discharge cell that has produced the faint discharge first time, produce faint discharge once more.The faint discharge of this moment is a negative electrode for establishing scan electrode SCi, and data electrode Dk is the discharge second time of anode.In addition, in this embodiment, voltage Vi4 is set to the voltage Va of scanning impulse and equates or the voltage higher a little than voltage Va.
Afterwards, scan electrode SC1~scan electrode SCn is applied positive square waveform voltage, in this embodiment, during time T e, apply the square waveform voltage of voltage Vr.Be so-called time T e for during selecting initialization to the length of the positive square waveform voltage application time that scan electrode SC1~scan electrode SCn applies.
Thus, in the discharge cell that has produced the faint discharge second time, produce discharge for the third time.To keep electrode Sui be negative electrode in order to establish in the discharge of this moment, and scan electrode SCi is the discharge for the third time of anode, is more weak discharge.
And then after this, apply than the 2nd high voltage of the 1st voltage (0 (V)) to be voltage Ve, scan electrode SC1~scan electrode SCn to be applied the downward-sloping waveform voltage that gently descends towards voltage Vi4 from voltage 0 (V) to keeping electrode SU1~keep electrode Sun.Thus, in having produced the discharge cell that discharges for the third time, produce the 4th discharge.The discharge of this moment is a negative electrode for establishing scan electrode SCi, and data electrode Dk is the 4th discharge of anode.And, through this faint discharge, the wall voltage on the scan electrode SCi, keep part superfluous in wall voltage and the wall voltage on the data electrode Dk on the electrode SUi and discharged, be adjusted to the wall voltage that is suitable for write activity.As above such, the initialization action of a son SF2 finishes.This initialization action; It is the selection initialization action that the discharge cell that carried out keeping action in during the keeping of the son before just (under the situation of a son during not keeping, having carried out the discharge cell of write activity in during writing) is optionally carried out the initialization discharge.
Next, the action during the writing of the action during the writing of son SF2 and a son SF1 is identical, and the action during the keeping of a son SF2 is except keeping umber of pulse, identical with the action during the keeping of son field SF1.In addition, the action among a son SF3~son SF10, except keeping umber of pulse, identical with the action of a son SF2.
In addition, in this embodiment, voltage Vi1 is 200 (V), and voltage Vi2 is 400 (V); Voltage Vi3 is 200 (V), and voltage Vi4 is-180 (V), and voltage Vc is 20 (V), and voltage Va is-200 (V); Voltage Vs is 200 (V), and voltage Vr is 200 (V), and voltage Ve is 150 (V), and voltage Vd is 60 (V).In addition, the degree of tilt of the waveform voltage that is inclined upwardly is set between 1~10 (the V/ μ sec), and the degree of tilt of downward-sloping waveform voltage is set between-1~-10 (the V/ μ sec).But each magnitude of voltage of the present invention is not limited to any of these magnitude of voltage.Preferred each magnitude of voltage waits according to the specification of the characteristic of panel or plasma display system and carries out optimal setting.
In addition, in this embodiment, the adjusted value of time T e for setting by every sub-field is set between 1 μ sec~500 μ sec.About stating after the relevant detailed content of time T e.
As above-mentioned, in this embodiment, during the initialization of selecting initialization action in, make it to produce and establish that to keep electrode Sui be negative electrode, scan electrode SCi is the discharge first time of anode.Next, make it to produce that to establish scan electrode SCi be negative electrode, data electrode Dk is the discharge second time of anode.Next, make it to produce and establish that to keep electrode Sui be negative electrode, scan electrode SCi is the discharge for the third time of anode.Next, make it to produce that to establish scan electrode SCi be negative electrode, data electrode Dk is the 4th discharge of anode.And; These discharges are produced as weak discharge; The luminous brightness that produces in order to suppress to follow this discharge to keeping electrode SU1~keep electrode Sun to apply the 1st voltage, and applies the waveform voltage that is inclined upwardly to scan electrode SC1~scan electrode SCn; Next scan electrode SC1~scan electrode SCn is applied downward-sloping waveform voltage; Next scan electrode SC1~scan electrode SCn is applied positive square waveform voltage,, and scan electrode SC1~scan electrode SCn is applied downward-sloping waveform voltage next to keeping electrode SU1~keep electrode Sun to apply the 2nd voltage higher than the 1st voltage.
Thus,, produce faint discharge through repeated multiple times and also can on each electrode, accumulate enough wall voltages, the ensuing discharge stability ground that writes is produced even do not produce strong discharge.
Fig. 4 A in embodiments of the present invention selection initialization of expression during in square waveform voltage application time that scan electrode SC1~scan electrode SCn is applied length and in order to produce the stable figure that writes the relation between the needed voltage Va of discharge.In Fig. 4 A; The longitudinal axis representes in order to produce the stable discharge needed voltage Va (amplitude of scanning impulse) that writes, and the length of the square waveform voltage application time that during transverse axis is illustrated in and selects during the initialization scan electrode SC1~scan electrode SCn is applied is time Te.
Fig. 4 B is illustrated in the number of keeping pulse that produces during keeping and in order to produce the figure of the stable relation that writes the needed voltage Va of discharge.In Fig. 4 B, the longitudinal axis representes in order to produce the stable discharge needed voltage Va (amplitude of scanning impulse) that writes, the number of keeping pulse that produces during the keeping of the son before transverse axis is illustrated in just.In addition, " 1 pair " shown in accompanying drawing expression at every turn to scan electrode 22 with keep electrode 23 and apply respectively and once keep pulse.
Fig. 4 C is the figure of the example of the time T e that presses every sub-field setting in the expression embodiment of the present invention.In addition, in Fig. 4 C expression by 8 sub-field (SF1, SF2 ..., SF8) constitute 1 field, the setting example of the time T e when each son field has been set the luminance weights of (1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128) respectively.This time T e is the length of the square waveform voltage application time of the voltage Vr that scan electrode SC1~scan electrode SCn applied in during selecting initialization.
In addition, in the accompanying drawing " μ sec " omitted note and make " μ s ".
Shown in Fig. 4 A, time expand Te then reduces in order to produce stable needed voltage Va (amplitude of the scanning impulse) this point of discharging that writes more more, has been confirmed by the present inventor.In the example shown in Fig. 4 A; Confirmed for example when time T e is set at 500 μ sec; Compare with time T e being made as 0 μ sec (promptly scan electrode SC1~scan electrode SCn not being applied square waveform voltage) time, can be with being reduced to about 20 (V) in order to produce the stable amplitude that writes the needed scanning impulse of discharge.
In addition, shown in Fig. 4 B, the number of keeping pulse that produces during the keeping of the son before just is many more, then becomes high more in order to produce the stable needed voltage Va of discharge (amplitude of scanning impulse) that writes, and this point is confirmed by the present inventor.In the example shown in Fig. 4 B; Confirmed to produce during the keeping of son before just during the writing of 400 pairs of sons of keeping pulse; With produce the writing of 1 pair of son of keeping pulse during the keeping of son before just during compare, stable write discharge and the amplitude of essential scanning impulse increases about 20 (V) in order to produce.
Hence one can see that; Produce the stable needed voltage Va (amplitude of scanning impulse) that discharges that writes in order to reduce; Needn't in all sons, all set time T e longer, as long as come setting-up time Te according to the number of keeping pulse that produces during the keeping of the son before just.If the number of keeping pulse that produces during the keeping of the son promptly before just is few, then, therefore can time T e be set at the relatively shorter time owing to produce the stable needed voltage Va of discharge (amplitude of scanning impulse) that writes and diminish.In addition, if the number of keeping pulse that produces during the keeping of the son just is many, then, therefore preferably time T e is set at the long time owing to uprise in order to produce the stable needed voltage Va of discharge (amplitude of scanning impulse) that writes.
At this, in this embodiment, come setting-up time Te according to the number of keeping pulse that produces during the keeping of the son before just.If the number of keeping pulse that produces during the keeping of the son promptly before just is little; Then time T e is set at the relatively shorter time; If the number of keeping pulse that produces during the keeping of the son before just is big, then time T e is set at the long time.
For example by 8 sub-field (SF1, SF2 ..., SF8) constitute 1 field; Each son field is set respectively under the situation of luminance weights (1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128); Son SF2 just before the luminance weights of son (a son SF1) be " 1 ", so the generation number of keeping pulse becomes minimum in 1 field.Thereby, in a son SF2, can time T e be set at minimum.In the example shown in Fig. 4 C, the time T e of a son SF2 is 15 μ sec.
In addition, the luminance weights of the son (son SF7) of son SF8 before just is " 64 ", and the generation number of keeping pulse becomes second largest number in 1 field.Therefore, in a son SF8, preferably time T e is set at maximum.In the example shown in Fig. 4 C, the time T e of a son SF8 is 300 μ sec.
In addition; In above-mentioned sub-field structure; The pulse number of keeping that in son SF8, produces becomes maximum in 1 field, but then the son of a son SF8 be a son SF1 of next, in the SF1 of son field, does not produce square waveform voltage in order to force initialization action.Therefore, in the example shown in Fig. 4 C, the setting value of the time T e of a son SF8 becomes maximum in 1 field.
In addition, in the example shown in Fig. 4 C, according to the number of keeping pulse that produces during the keeping of the son before just; Difference setting-up time Te in each son field; In a son SF3, establishing time T e is 20 μ sec, and in a son SF4, establishing time T e is 50 μ sec, and in a son SF5, establishing time T e is 50 μ sec; In a son SF6, establishing time T e is 100 μ sec, and in a son SF7, establishing time T e is 200 μ sec.
In addition, in the example shown in Fig. 4 C, though in son SF4 and a son SF5 during the keeping of the son before just the number of keeping pulse of generation different, all time T e is set at 50 μ sec.Thus; Even the number of keeping pulse that produces during the keeping of the son before just is different; When driving needed deficiency of time etc., consider the flash-over characteristic of panel or the specification of plasma display system etc. and time T e is set at the identical time long also it doesn't matter.
Thus, in this embodiment, come setting-up time Te according to the number of keeping pulse that produces during the keeping of the son before just.Promptly; If the number of keeping pulse that produces during the keeping of the son before just is little; Then time T e is set at the relatively short time,, then time T e is set at the long time if the number of keeping pulse that produces during the keeping of the son before just is many.Thus, can reduce in order to produce the stable needed voltage Va (amplitude of scanning impulse) that discharges that writes.Thus, can guarantee sufficient voltage setting range and produce the stable discharge that writes, can realize the plasma display system that image displaying quality is high.
